@aggroed wants to be CEO while @ned plays guitar.  At this point I'd be ok with that.   Either that or he needs to do this sometimes and needs @juliekponsford or someone like her to be his community outreach.

I don't dislike @ned, but this conversation is 2 years too late.  If he was doing this once or twice a month I'd have no issues with his as a frontman.  I'd feel like at least we know what we are doing here, whether we agree or disagree.  It's not only a matter of showing up, it's about dialogue and respect towards the community, not treating us like idiots, not sugar coating things, and not being unable to apologize when you mess up.   No one cares about how well you play guitar when the platform is falling apart.  Fix it and we'll all be happy to watch you play then.
